Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting....
THEY SHOULD HAVE, but they said they don’t. Some 130 people are still missing. That means they killed hostages. Plain and simple. The request was to return first 40 hostages which should include all the women, elderly and others in a need of care, then fill whatever is left up to 40 with men. Then negotiations can start.
So, there are no hostages anymore. They either raped them to death or tortured them to death. And now Israel’s retribution will get even worse.
Oh come on. What kind of “return elderly people, pregnant women and other feeble hostages” is unreasonable demand? What would be reasonable demand? Keep them forever. Abuse them?
That’s bullshit excuse. If I hold you in front of oncoming bullets, I killed you, not whoever shot the bullets. If you jump in front of a car you killed yourself. Driver didn’t kill you.
You are really stretching logic here in order to justify your hate towards Israel or approval towards Hamas. Hamas kidnaps 100s of people, Israel wants 40 back and you say they are making unreasonable demands that can’t be followed? What should they say… naah keep em for raping and playing? Consider it a token of good faith?
Am never going to try to justify civilian deaths, because there’s no justification. But the fact is if you kick hornets nest you’ll get stung. You can’t expect any country on this planet to ignore such an attack because if they do, they risk allowing such attack to repeat.
Hamas doesn’t give two shits about Palestinian people. They like to kick hornets nest from time to time so people get harshly punished. This produces loads of media attention which begets more humanitarian aid which never ends up in hands of those who need it, instead it goes straight to Qatar.
Been looking into getting into DF but it all seems intimidating and lacking polish. Is it worth the effort? I know people love it, but learning curve is kind of annoying. If you had to compare it to a similar game, which one would it be?
Fallout 2, Sanitarium (although point and click it’s worth mentioning for anyone who hasn’t played it), Quake 1/2/3, Half-Life all of it, Portal all of it, OpenTTD, Theme Hospital, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3, etc.
Only causally reading about it. Didn’t purchase the game yet. Graphically it’s much better, which is why I was drawn to the idea of getting in the first place. Am not much of a fan of ascii art in games.
Even if you are super conservative bible weaving guy, since bible doesn’t like females, the bible itself says nothing about abortion except in one place where it explains what’s going on but so vaguely it might be interpreted as anything.
Thank you for knowing history and at least trying to educate others from it. People here are so willing to bend definitions and ignore events that were far worse just so it can fit their narrative.
No. That’s not killing “as many as possible”. That’s accepting civilians around the official to be killed. If anything it’s extremely targeted attack. Killing as many as possible would be carpet bombing the whole thing and calling it a day.
They can take more torque, don’t cam out when screwing and most importantly can’t be damaged easily by constantly using the screw, unlike Philips which fucks off after second attempt.
Yeah I heard many of the like eating babies as well. Hamas is there just as an excuse but in reality they are the good guys who just like drinking tea.
But on no account should you consider yourself wrong. That can’t happen. Propaganda works only one way and not the other. Whenever there’s evidence of Hamas storing weapons or launching rockets next to schools and hospitals, it’s fake news. It’s source that can’t be trusted. But whenever something aligns with your beliefs that’s 100% true, evidence not required. Even now you are claiming they killed foreign aid workers on purpose when there was no investigation and no such claim anywhere. But it fits your narrative.
And won’t do a damn thing. Just how Facebook likes are not stopping Russia’s invasion upvoting/downvoting will have exactly zero effect on this conflict as well. On one side Israel will ensure this time that this never happens again, on the other only acceptable outcome for Palestine is death of every Israeli, which is not happening.
World will criticize. Israel will win and there will be calm for some years before Hamas goes for the blood again and people call Israel genocidal nation once again. It’s a frighteningly short cycle and people keep forgetting it every time.
There’s no racial segregation in Israel if you are implying that. There’s no ISIS support either. And there’s no genocide because killing is not indiscriminate. If it were there would be no Gaza left.
It was declared as war, it is being fought as war. It’s war. Technically in every aspect. The fact they are stronger means nothing. How do you know IDF is intentionally targeting civilians and then letting other 2 million of them go is a mystery to me but it’s not genocide because it’s not by definition “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”, because had that been the case, there would be no Gaza left, there would be no aid, there would be no humanitarian corridor.
Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...
No online play meant game had to be played with people sitting next to you. You had to socialize;
No updates meant games had to be finished when sold, none of the early access or battle pass bullshit;
Games were made hard to artificially give longer play time but this resulted in sense of achievement when you beat the game;
Booklets were actually awesome because you had lore in your hands which was written in a way not to spoil the game but hyped you to play further so you could get to that content.
Sure for the most part it’s nostalgia, but technology brought as many, if not more, bad things as it did with good things. We’ve seen games get much better than old games and we’ve seen them much worse.
And yet they won’t do it right because everyone wants to make a game as a service these days and sell loot boxes and collectibles with season passes, special editions, early adopter bonuses, login bonuses and in-game currency. If it lacks even two the things I mentioned, I’d be surprised.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Phillipe Lazzarini claimed that Israeli authorities had informed the UN that they would no longer approve any UNRWA food convoys to the north of the Gaza Strip, according to a post on X on Sunday.
According to UN reports figures are PER DAY. Not month. And yes, they are lower now than they were before, thanks for UNRWA smuggling weapons into Gaza. Or at least weapons being found in those trucks.
Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month....
It was also pointed out, and I somehow missed it, the fact there was secondary explosion which no one tried to explain. If they weren’t armed and this attack was done via drone, why would there be smaller secondary explosion?
They blew up a group of reporters standing in the open, clearly marked, with nothing else around them.
So did USA, multiple times. Link. You don’t even have to search hard to find it.
They refuse to let Gazans evacuate the combat area through their lines.
There was a humanitarian corridor before. Not sure why there isn’t one now. But claiming they won’t let them pass is not really true since they did let them pass.
There are multiple cases of them shooting unarmed civilians. Including their own hostages.
Same with USA, see Collateral Murder leaks page on WikiLeaks. Direct video link
And they refuse to either let aid agencies do their job or to provide that aid themselves, fomenting a famine.
I’ve never seen this. From the news I read, aid is going in there but civilians are being beaten by Hamas and stolen supplies from. There were also reports of shooting at people getting the aid because IDF soldiers were afraid of stampede. So either people are getting aid and getting shot at or not.
Edit: As claimed by COGAT, there’s no issues for aid to get to the people. UNRWA is not allowed though due to their ties to Hamas.
There has been zero accountability for any of the war crimes above.
Even if there is to be accountability, it won’t come now but long after the war. And it’s nothing new for any guilty party never to get condemned for anything. USA did it number of times, China does it all the time, etc. Hell even NATO bombed refugee convoy in Serbia killing thousands of civilians without armed escort and nothing. This is nothing strange. Rules for the big countries are not the same as for smaller countries.
Also, the US Army didn’t just release a puff piece statement. They declassified their on the ground investigation that was done as a routine matter right after the engagement.
Actually no. They did cover up things multiple times. Also many videos leaked, which is the reason why Julian Assange is a wanted man across the globe as is Edward Snowden. You think they are hiding abroad in countries who oppose USA because they expect fair legal process? No, they will be swallowed by the darkness the moment they enter any country allied with USA.
Also let us not forget that in Iraq, at peak there were 29k civilian deaths per year. PER YEAR. And war went on for 6 years. So where are calls for genocide there?
As far as I can see you guys are picking favorites and turning blind eye. While pointing fingers at others.
